Abstract
This is the second of a series of three papers showing that every commutative 
noetherian ring has either wild or tame representation type (with a possible 
exception involving characteristic 2), and describing the finitely generated 
modules when the type is tame. The first paper established the wildness of a 
broad class of complete local rings. This second paper establishes the 
tameness of the remaining complete local rings (with the exception noted 
above), and of some noncommutative local rings, giving an explicit description 
of their finitely generated modules. The third paper will deal with the 
non-complete and non-local situations, with emphasis on local-versus-global 
behavior and direct-sum behavior of modules over tame rings.
